I just upgraded to ver 66.0 and thought one of the features was to not allow autoplay. I'm still getting autoplay, on yahoo.com, (and other sites) even after adding block in exceptions. I thought it would be disabled. What must I do?

Cannot sign into Support with an old Username and password... have tried to renew password, but Support did not send anything to my email address - which would seem to indicate that they no longer have any records of my previous Log-in details; admittedly my last Log-in was maybe 10 years ago...

My computer's hard drive had to be replaced, and I lost my favorites. I didn't back them up to a folder. Is there any way I can recover them? If this is a stupid question, I apologize. I know nothing about computers (bought mine used).

if Firefox is running and i click on a link in my email, Firefox will open a new tab and show the page.
if Firefox is NOT running and I click on a link, Firefox will open a blank tab; I'll have to click the link again - without closing Firefox - for the page to show.

3- Go to "Preferences" and search for "colors" click on the colors button and set the background and text colors to the same colors as in 2.

now I tried all of the solutions above and all of them have side effects, the most prominent and annoying one is flashing white page for a couple of seconds when opening a new tab or white page while the website, other annoyances is that the settings don't apply to about:config and about:preferences even if I add them in userContent.css

-To test the flashing white you only need to open a new tab (while applying my settings above) and you will see it.

-To the white page before the site is loaded you need to open the link from another page(if you open a new tab and then paste the link you won't get the white page since the about:blank or about:newtab will have the dark background)

I think FF has done another update to 66.0.1 (64-bit) OS10.11.6 and now Logging in to secure websites like Santander and Youtube just hang. I use 1Password and Command\ doesn't work on this Mozilla site for instance. Plus as FF is my default browser clicking a WeTransfer link in an email has stopped working and just hangs in FF. My Add ons (which I've been using for years in some cases) are 1Password, Adblock plus, DuckDuck Go, I Don't Care About Cookies and IBM Security Rapport.
Out of interest, why does FF need to keep producing such regular updates?
It's a great browser but it seems each update comes with its own set of problems.

I use Firefox v66.0.2 on Windows 10 Pro and on my weather website that has Flash links to external sites to display the Moon's phase and World City Times the placeholders to populate that info has become very slow indeed. It can take well over 40 seconds to show the times.

Using the same version of Firefox on a Windows 7 64-bit PC the data displays in seconds. Using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 it's also very quick. Only Firefox / Windows 10 seems to be the problem.

I am running Firefox 52.9.0 (32-bit), Win XP PRO SP3 on several computers and only my desktop has this problem.

Youtube videos embedded in other pages do not work and only blank space is displayed but if I go to Youtube the videos play correctly. This only happens in one computer. In other computers running same Firefox 52.9.0 (32-bit), Win XP PRO SP3 this problem does not happen.

Hello. I'm running Firefox Quantum 66.0 64-bit on Mac OS 10.13.6

Articles on this help site seem to indicate that "print preview" should be the first screen when you try to print a webpage, but I can't get it to work. I've tried "command-p", and by using the menu and choosing print.
Should I get a "print preview" screen when I print something? If not, where do I go to submit this as a feature request?

Every time I start firefox it nags me to "Set up sync" and it's driving me nuts.
I only surf the net on my PC. I'm an old guy and my arthritic fingers won't allow me to use small devices to surf the net.
I have no other devices to sync to. And I NEVER WILL have other devices to sync to.
I am a long term firefox user, and don't want to use any other browser - but this is driving me nuts.

BTW, I get that you want to remind me about software updates, and I am fine with this. They are important - but not this sync business.

On many pages (commercial), when I click a link to look at another page, clicking the "Go Back One Page" button results in the original page scrolling down a varying amount.

For example, I visit CNN.com. I then select an article I want to read. When reading is complete I press the "Back" button, which returns me to the original page, but also scrolls that original page, sometimes just a few lines, but also sometimes to the very bottom of the page.

This only happens on the newest (66.0) version of Firefox upgraded yesterday. It does not happen with other browsers. It does happen with Firefox started in safe mode. I also checked the carat (^) scroll in "Options" and this was not selected.

This also happens whether I use the Firefox Page Back Button, or the "Back" button on my mouse.

I have added firefox@accounts.com to my gmail verified adresses, so I don't know what's wrong. I went through the same confirmation process on my LG G6 (Android 8.0) and everthing works fine. But when I try (on many occasions) to sign in on Firefox Sync on my laptop (with the same email and login of course), I need to wait for the confirmation email, which never comes.

updated this a.m. 4-11-2019 when entering facebook messenger I can make one entry, next entry will type first letter and cursur then goes to front of word as if trying to type backwards. Reboot firefox did not help neither did rebooting entire system. However all works well in IE explorer 11.

Since the update to version 66, my themes won't stay enabled, no matter which one I choose. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the themes, (restarting firefox in between), redownloading and installing firefox itself...all to no avail. It reverts to the default theme when it finishes loading, no matter what I do. I can re-enable it manually...and, here's the odd part, it shows while firefox is loading! Anytime firefox is started, this happens, and it doesn't seem to matter what them I select. When I close firefox, it disables itself.

I was tricked into downloading a fake flashplayer update that included the adware "pro search tip." I've been able to uninstall it from my other browsers and firefox and it doesn't appear anywhere on my machine. I also used sophos to scan my machine, which deleted it. But it still redirects my default search engine to itself in firefox.

I have periodically gotten a screen that fills the entire browser window that is dark, somewhat transparent, and contains only the word CONTINUE with an X in the top right corner. The screen tends to appear when performing a Google search. Unfortunately I do not (yet) have a screen capture. Firefox is version 66.0.2.
